This Northern Colorado Tasting Room Will NOT Be Closing After All

UPDATE: The Reserve at Old Elk Will Not Be Closing

A Northern Colorado tasting room representative has contacted me to inform us that The Reserve at Old Elk in Old Town Fort Collins is not closing. According to sources found on Reddit and a call to the tasting room on November 7 stating that the Fort Collins tasting room would close permanently on Friday, November 15, were inaccurate according to the representative from Old Elk. Fans of the tasting room, much like myself, are surely to be happy to hear the good news.
